  1. I used to say that but apprenticeships and technical certifications or trade schools show that you can finish something. The military is the same. Do people really need English composition, humanities and intro to science classes for most jobs? I would venture to guess that in a majority of jobs, a person who has done 4 years in the military and was honorably discharged (and probably has a learned skill) should rank higher than a person who has English Lit and consumer math with a sheepskin. Looking at google out of curiosity, up to 41% of college grads are not employed in a job that deals with their degree and 52% at least initially take jobs that do not require a degree. I didn’t dig into how many eventually gained employment in jobs that actually require a degree Obviously some jobs should require a certain level of education such as medical doctors, lawyers, school teachers, certified accountants, HR people, perhaps banking, etc. Other than those, I think the need for college is way overblown.

    Iran War Update

    If you want to see what's really happening with the kinetic actions, among other news, the site I posted earlier has a lot of info for details. It shows (graphically as well with zoomable detail maps) each specific instance of strike, attempted strike, etc. all from verified intel, satellite, Centcom, etc. Kind of nerdy. But, also very revealing. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]strike/37

    The trade was strictly about the money. No question. I only made the comparison (actually, got the comparison off an X post) to show what the Astros were getting for $4.7 Mil less. Houston couldn't keep Dubon. I believe they got what they were expecting in return. A decent player off the bench.

  5. Easy there. KU won the Big 7 title in 1949. That wasn't many years ago. Only 77 years. They have been fairly weak over the years with this being only the 7th NCAA tourney in school history. Will be rooting for Ruiz and the Hogs.

    Thanks BD. I don't watch. I only watch Fox Business from 8-11 am with Varney while I'm doing other stuff. Markets are closed today, so we're watching Tora! Tora! Tora! right now on 20.2 Houston local. Haven't seen it in a while. They have their Memorial Day Marathon on today.

    I agree and disagree Trump just matched the democrats in their game…and they don’t like it. He s just louder and because he was/is the president it just stands out more along with the media being mostly democrat leaning. i disagree with his antics and lack of tact….along with other decisions he s made but no way am I voting for open borders, trans, or baby killing.

    That is such a BS statement. I’ve seen grown men contort in agony over Biden, Obama, Clinton - worse than any contortion over the clown. And you call names. TDS is a loser’s dodge. A cheap bail.

    Just go with wire service reports, Mat, and keep making up your own mind. All talking heads serve the dollar and the dollar only. They don’t care about truth, only spin and eyeballs. Conservatives, liberals, don’t matter. AP, Reuters employ reporters who have a code of ethics. Talking heads have no ethics.

    I think Peña is a huge part of that lineup. I like him better than Correa….sorry. Won this one without Alvarez and Altuve. Walker is amazing. Hope Alvarez comes back soon.

  22. We did not play our best game or series. But rogers played us tough and was here last year as well. On top of that they were a rival with us for years.

    Blue Wave?

    Actually, it shows how not smart that Trump is… he just canned Cassidy from Louisiana and endorsed Paxton in Texas… that means that he just lost two votes in the senate until the end of the year. It’s why they just went home instead of passing his budget reconciliation that would have funded the 1.776 billion dollar slush fund for his friends and the billion dollar appropriation for the ballroom. Thune had no choice but to send everybody home because he doesn’t have the votes. Same thing with the war powers act in the House. Johnson canceled it because they don’t have the votes… Trump keeps stepping on his own party because they won’t rubber-stamp everything that he comes up with, and it’s about to bite him in the butt.

    I used to order them off of Amazon until I found them at HEB on FM365 in Port Arthur. I like most beans but Anasazi are my favorite.
